2026 Hewescraft Pioneer 200 PN
The Open Boat Built For The MassesFor solo anglers and charter captains alike, the new Hewescraft Pioneer is the perfect tool when 360 degrees of fishing access is essential. The Pioneer (available in 20’ or 22’), has been meticulously crafted with the same uncompromising safety built into every Hewescraft—now available in this versatile open boat. The Pioneer features a tiller or center console controls, a jet-pump-ready transom, 11’ lockable rod storage, and much more. The Hewescraft Pioneer offers the right size and smart design details that make it the best choice for anglers seeking the freedom and versatility of an open-boat platform. It bests every boat in its class by combining a beam that is wider than eight feet, and an all-welded lifetime-warranty hull that is .190” thick and 78” wide at the chines. With the largest fuel capacity in its class (45 gal. in the 200 and 65 gal. in the 220) and rated up to 200 or 250 horsepower (on the 200 and 220 respectively), the Pioneer can handle plenty of people and gear effortlessly—and all day long. The Pioneer does all this while still providing the legendary Hewescraft flotation and safety unavailable in its competitors. An impressive list of features and options completes the Pioneer fishing experience. The Pioneer’s casting-deck bow provides the safety and comfort of a traction-rated diamond treadplate surface and multiple toe-kicks. The generous bow area also provides ample space for today’s larger electric trolling motor mounts, easy-access battery storage (up to three Group 31 batteries), and a convenient rode locker. With in-floor storage (20 gal.), bow livewell (30 gal.), and lockable gunwale-top rod storage, you won’t need to leave anything at the dock. Multiple seating combinations and suspension options provide comfort for any fishing style, and tiller steering or optional center console provide comfort for any driving style. Exclusive lockable sliding-door sounder boxes deliver protection and convenience at the transom. Every inch of the Pioneer has been carefully designed and built to bring open-boat anglers ease-of-use, ruggedness, and unmatched safety. |

The Benefits of Having Your Own Boat
Buying a boat is a big investment, and you should feel confident in your decision. Even if you feel ready for the financial commitment of boat ownership, you might still be wondering: is it really worth it? The answer is up to you, but of course, we here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service are big proponents of the marine lifestyle! If you need a little convincing, you came to the right place. Read on to discover the many benefits of having your own boat!
Making Memories
Boating is a great way to create unforgettable memories with family and friends. Everything is more exciting when you are out on the water! Even a casual day of cruising around the lake or lounging on the deck of your boat can be a wonderful bonding experience. You can also teach your children to fish, seek out remote destinations for swimming and snorkeling, or even stretch out under the stars and look for constellations and meteors. When you have your own boat, each summer day is an opportunity for marine adventure!
Reducing Stress
There is plenty of evidence to suggest that spending time in nature is one of the best ways to relieve stress. With a boat of your own, you can get away from the hustle and bustle whenever you feel like it, and enjoy some peace and quiet out on the water. Your boat is the perfect place to escape from everyday life and give yourself some much-needed time to recharge and reflect. There is comfort in solitude, and nothing feels more solitary than being alone on your boat!
Meeting New People
Owning a boat gives you access to a whole new world of experiences, and that includes meeting new people! As you spend time at marinas and boat ramps, you will have the opportunity to meet other boaters. You can also seek out boat clubs in your area, and get involved in the local boating and fishing community. This is a great way to make new friends who share your enthusiasm for boating!
